@@potsdam521 His most well known works are very bleak e.g. his symphonies. His quartets and operas too. That doesn't mean I dislike him, he's one of my favorite composers. I recommend his piano quintet, specifically with the Borodin Quartet and Sviatoslav Richter, it's wonderful.
Shostakovich's 2nd is often dismissed as a 'student concerto'. In my opinion, it is a great opportunity for world-class pianists like Yuja who don't have to 'prove themeselves' anymore, to make their own thing out of it. The audience definitely enjoyed it a lot!
People forget that a piano concerto is not an etude. It's not something to show off technical skills. A concerto is a work of music, and it's irrelevant how difficult it's technically. Haydn wrote beautiful piano concerti that are excelent works of music.
For anyone wondering she has CH drew on her arm, this was Carnegie Hall’s opening night after 19 months of shut down due to covid. Yuja Wang was paying respect to the Hall for having her as the soloist for such a significant and historic occasion. Edit: 19 months, not 18
@@DrDLL99 I don't care where Ms Wang tattoos her letters: On the fingers, on the forehead, on the back, it's meaningless to me. I was surprised that the letters CH are supposed to be a sign of respect, well, whatever.
This is such a beautiful piano concerto, and an outstanding performance. Who can not love Shostakovich's music. He certainly was a true genius. All I can say is,Yuja Wang has made this concert come alive like no other. Thank you so much for uploading this priceless performance.
@@mperstl13 - Normally you are totally correct. Especially with audiences that aren’t familiar with Orchestral etiquette. But when a performance is just so impressive even an audience at Carnegie that knows orchestral etiquette realizes when the rules should be bent. 😊
@@dmajoriu21 Carnegie Hall audience always claps between movements (since 80 years). It says nothing about the performance quality. Nowadays they even clap right in the middle of movements/pieces. For example Islamey (Pogorelich) or Chopin 4th Ballade (Yundi Li). The Ballade incident was really bad. They completely killed the mood. Maybe some of them try to revolutionize classical concert etiquette. But I think, most people don't know the pieces and it's human to show when you're excited. Its the performers responsibility to signalize them to shut up; They should not show any indication whatsoever that the performance has ended until it really ended.
@@pavlosgermanidis2754 I don't know what it's like at Carnegie Hall. I have been there only twice in my life. But here in Buenos Aires, where I live, I've seen that great and very famous figures like Yuja Wang tend to attract audiences that are not normally concert goers. When I attend concerts of not so well known artists, I see that concert etiquette is usually observed, but things are different when big names are on the stage. I attended Yuja Wang's concert at Teatro Colón a few years ago and people clapped all the time. The same happened with Jonas Kaufmann, he had to finish some works in the middle of hysterical clapping. Anyway, I have also observed that things have changed in the last decades. When I was a teenager in the 70s, nobody would clap between movements.
As a total Baroque and Classical (period) music lover, I have enjoyed this concerto from the first time I heard it. Being a Brit I enjoy the motiv "What shall we do with the drunken sailor",that occurs often in the first movement and then the sublime second movement sadly with sound balance problems in this video, which distracted me slightly from the performance, and finally the gorgeous jaunty Russian dance like final movement with it's constant time changes. Lovely to see here and wow what a performance. (Shame about the ads during each movement)
Thanks for remembering the drunken sailor motiv, a song our men's choir sang (boys choir actually, as a sophomore in HS and which has been extant in one form or another for a couple of hundred years I guess.
I happened to have grown up on this particular piece of music. My older brother had the record with Leonard. Bravo to the pianist, Ms. Wang. Even as a rocker, I find this composition to be stirring yet beautiful. It's moody. Oh Dmitri !!
One of the most fun orchestral compositions I know of. Both pianist and conductor were smiling a lot. And the drummer seemed to be enjoying herself as well. At other performances I've see many of the players having fun with it. Big BRAVO!

As always, Juja Wang makes you hear this extraordinary piece as if for the first time - she has an absolute technical command of it, which enables her to totally embrace it, and express vast inner spaces that are special to her; along with intimate details that you never heard before. There is no question of who is in the driving seat - but then that smile comes across her face as she interplays intimately with members of the orchestra, when appropriate. It was first performed by Dmitri Shostakovitch's son, Maxim, for whom it was a 19th birthday present. It's youthfull exuberance, coupled with desparately deep yearnings in the Andante movement, made it a perfect choice for Carnegie Hall's 'rebirth' after the musical devastion of covid . . . . .
The tattoo is the last desperate cry from the soul of Yui Wang: "Look at me, I am still here, I still exist !!!"

Why is everyone commenting on her clothing? She can wear what she wants. Besides it's a concert not a fashion show so it doesn't matter what she wears It shouldn't affect the performance
There is only one problem with this piece its too short. I wish it were twice as long. The composition is brilliant, the performance by Yuja Wang is spectacular and she pierces my heart with her charm and zeal on the keyboard.

❤❤❤ je pense que cet ANDANTE est un des plus beaux de toute l’histoire de la musique! Je l’ai découvert grâce à Lars Vogt mais il est très bien joué ici par cette belle pianiste si expressive! Et j’aime aussi beaucoup le CHEF!
At 12:11 Shostakovich resorts to an old trope and does it beautiful justice--repeating the opening melody in a minor mode, and actually wrenching from it more sweetness than before.
Shostakovich’s Second Piano Concerto was a much better choice for a celebratory program than the originally announce Rachmaninov concerto. Unfortunately, this performance suffered from balance issues. At least from my seat, it was often difficult to hear Yuja Wang over the orchestra, especially in the first movement, all the more frustrating because her ferociously intelligent musicality was on full display when she could be heard. The first three thematic statements from the piano were so individually shaped they could have been coming from three different instruments. The playful transition from the lush second movement to the jocular third was a delight, as was Wang’s take-no-prisoners approach to the 7/8 sections of the final movement.
So happy to see you are so devoid of un-intelligent troll idea's, you now have to plagiarize from others. At least you plagiarize a good review-did you notice that, or were your new meds clouding your perceptions, as per usual?

Therefore, in a free American country, in which there has never been a ministry of culture, a free classical pianist can perform on stage even in a bathing suit (this is reality).
